BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus employed to invert finished gloves expeditiously; especially suited however not limited to substantially thick material gloves such as ski gloves, leather gloves, multi layered heat resistant gloves and industrial heavy duty lined rubber gloves; that eliminates maladies of the hands including fungal infections associated with the use of unsanitary and/or damp gloves, thereby promoting healthy morbidity free hands. It also relates to the reformation of previously inverted gloves and eliminates stress and discomfort of the hands typically associated with the use of wet and/or ill fitting, improperly reformed gloves. Moreover, this invention facilitates the expeditious reformation and subsequent proper fit of the gloves. Substantially thick material gloves are extremely difficult and frustrating and time consuming to invert and reform completely and properly by hand.

2. Prior Art

I would like to urge the reader to consider this as a brand new field per se. The present invention deals with a specific field of inversion/reformation that is notably absent in development. Most prior art in the field of inversion/reformation deals with tools arid/or machines to assist in the manufacture of products. Others deal with oblong finished products such as belts, ties, stockings etc. The present invention deals with gloves as finished products; the purpose of which is to provide a means invert gloves expeditiously thus facilitating efficient cleaning and/or rapid drying of the lining and to reform previously inverted gloves properly thus eliminating discomfort and the concomitant stress associated with ill fitting and improperly reformed gloves thereby providing a means to promote healthy morbidity free hands for the users of a variety of thick material gloves.

Fabric inversion/reformation of all kinds have employed the use of numerous and varied apparatuses. One component of U.S. Pat. No. 4,749,111 by Hardwick appears similar in structure to the present invention, however there are significant differences, especially the configuration of the tip of the device and the technique employed to invert/reform a fabric and the specific field of application is dissimilar.

U.S. Pat. No. 6,568,572 to Smith is quite similar to the present invention on the surface. Even though it performs a similar function to the present invention, the structural configuration and method are different and it consists of 3 components and requires twice as many steps and requires at least twice as much time to perform the function for which it was devised. Moreover it incurs an added expense to manufacture an additional component. Therefore the need exists for an improvement in the field that costs less to manufacture and is more efficient and requires less time to perform the function of inverting/reforming glove appendages. Also the present invention is lighter and more compact. Case in point; the technique is dissimilar. U.S. Pat. No. 6,568,572 employs a method of insertion: insert the tube into the glove appendage socket; subsequently insert the pushrod into the tube to invert the appendage. Whereas the present invention utilizes a technology based upon a guidance principal, wherein the depression of the tip of the guide provides the contact and stability necessary to eliminate slippage and disengagement of the tip of the glove appendage thereby resulting in complete inversion by virtue of a definitive guidance procedure. Furthermore there are significant improvements the present invention provides. The new technology of the present invention is practically unnoticeable. Precisely, the configuration of the upper section of the guide, configured with a slight inward taper to simulate the shape of a typical baby finger of a hand minus the tip and more specifically the configuration of the tip of the guide; having a depression configured to conform to the shape of a typical fingertip thereby eliminating slippage and disengagement with the tip of the glove appendage, and as a result of the depression complete inversion is accomplished expeditiously and simultaneously as a result of the tapered upper section of the guide and the uninterrupted seamless smooth surface thereof and the rounded smooth surface of the perimeter of the depression, complete reformation is accomplished expeditiously without hindrance, interference, encumbrance, bunching of the glove fingertips or marked unevenness of the inside or outside surface of the glove appendage.

U.S. Pat. No. 1,537,794 to Baum was not developed to stand-alone nor is it possible in and of itself to perform the function of inverting glove appendages. It was designed as an integral component of larger more complex mechanized machinery. Please refer to U.S. Pat. No. 1,537,794 to Baum; Page 1 (line 9 thru 19, line 37 thru 42, line 51 thru 59, line 88 thru 97, line 107 thru 108); Page 2 (line 7 thru 9). Also the configuration is more closely related to a 2 sided tube with 2 sides exposed. There is absolutely no way to apply the aforementioned patent by itself to perform the function of inverting/reforming glove appendages without employing an additional element or member.

U.S. Pat. No. 2,427,933 to Summers FIG. 4, No. 50 appears similar in configuration to the guide of the present invention however there are significant dissimilarities; the tapered configuration and the depression in the tip and the rounded smooth perimeter of the depression of the present invention as opposed to the shape of the pushrod and the rounded tip thereof of Summers invention. Even though the dissimilarity is practicably unnoticeable, upon scrutiny, it becomes apparent that the difference is substantial and I'm sure, subsequent to a thorough examination of the particular aspects of the present invention, a reasonable assessment would indicate the present invention does not infringe upon U.S. Pat. No. 2,427,933 to Summers or to U.S. Pat. No. 6,568,572 to Smith in view of U.S. Pat. No. 1,537,794 to Baum considering it would not have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art to modify the pushrod of Baum (FIGS. 1, 2, 3); which is tubular in configuration; by substituting the tip with the tip of the device of Smith (FIG. 4); which is tubular; the reasoning being: without the use or insertion of another element, both devices (Smith and Baum) are completely useless. The device of Baum is a component of a machine of a more complex nature with numerous components that are interdependent on each other and require a variety of parts and mechanisms to perform the function of inverting/reforming glove appendages and it can not stand alone nor is it portable, whereas the present invention provides a simple manual, non-mechanized device that does not employ the use of any other insertion element to function and can be applied by most people almost anywhere under most circumstances and has only 2 components that can be permanently attached or removeably attached and easily transportable.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Further characteristics and advantages according to the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment thereof.

The glove appendage inverting/reforming device of the present invention is well suited however not limited to industrial, heavy duty, lined, rubber-gloves. It can also be used with any substantially thick material glove, such as ski gloves, leather gloves, heat resistant gloves, multi layered gloves, semi-rubber gloves etc.

The present invention is a manual, non-mechanized device that allows for the trouble free and expeditious inversion of a glove thereby facilitating efficient cleaning or washing and/or rapid drying of the lining and quick complete reformation resulting in a proper fit. Prior to applying the present invention, the guide is inserted into the base to stabilize the guide. After the glove is inverted, it is cleaned or washed and the inverted glove is placed in any location such as on a line with a clothes pin, on a tree branch, on a suspended member, on a flat surface, on the grass, in a window sill, on a dashboard or anywhere conducive to allow for aeration that eliminates accumulated moisture and facilitates the inside surface to dry. The device is then applied to turn the glove back to the proper side with a complete and proper fit. This invention provides a means to promote and maintain healthy morbidity free hands by keeping hands dry, fungus can't thrive and by keeping hands fine, the mind is focused.

The present invention consists of a base (1) that has a flat bottom side with the dimensions of the boundary exponentially larger than the opening (2) in the topside, further having a series of openings, one smaller (10) defined as a conduit, the others larger (9). The smaller opening (10) extends to and breaches the bottom of the opening (2) in the topside forming the conduit. The inside of the openings (9) are configured to provide a means to utilize another object to attach the device to a larger surface enabling stationary application. The openings (9) and (10) are equidistantly disposed to each other and equidistantly disposed to the boundary of the bottom side of the base (1). The base (1) has a semi-rounded topside with an opening (2) with a depth and size capable to receive, support, secure and stabilize a guide (3). The smaller opening (10) on the bottom side of the base (1) is centered beneath and connected to the bottom of the larger opening (2) in the topside utilizing the conduit to eject undesirable matter that could effect the stability thus functionality of the device. The guide (3) is defined between two opposing parallel ends that are perpendicularly disposed on the longitudinal axis of the guide (3), a first end (4) defined as the nadir and a second end (5) defined as the apex, the first end (4) is inserted and attaches to the base (1) at the opening (2). Adjacent to the first end (4) are a series of grooves (8) that accept a set of flexible elements (11). By inserting the first end (4) into the opening (2) with the flexible elements (11) fitted and secured in the grooves (8), any moisture, dust, or minute particles are forced down through the opening (2) into a smaller opening (10) utilizing the conduit connected to the bottom of the opening (2), the first end (4) then becomes a shut off valve, sealing the smaller opening (10), creating and providing an airtight vacuum that serves to secure and stabilize the guide (3). The second end (5) has a depression that is incurvated having a structural member limiting the extent of engagement. The depression (5) is shaped to simulate and conform to the configuration of a typical fingertip including a typical thumb tip. The depression (5) is enclosed by a curvilinear perimeter (7) that is obtuse and has a smooth surface. The perimeter (7) is apically disposed and circumscribing the depression (5) and is the point that separates the depression (5) from the dimensional abatement (6). Beginning in the upper section of the guide (3) below the second end (5) culminating with the curvilinear perimeter (7) is an oblique dimensional abatement (6), simulating the configuration of a typical baby finger of a hand minus the tip having a symmetrical inward taper or conversely an outward taper that has a constant gradual gradient and a degree of angle that is measured or calculated by the dimensions of the starting point in the upper section of the guide (3), the length and the dimensions of the culmination point at the perimeter (7) encompassing the depression (5). The present invention has the same texture, configuration and structure viewed from any side and between the perimeter (7) and the uppermost groove (8), there is no angle greater than the angle of the dimensional abatement (6). Between the perimeter (7) and the uppermost groove (8), the guide (3) has a surface structure that is uninterruptedly flush, seamless, smooth and has absolutely no interstices or areas void of structure.

The base (1) could have a semi-rotund topside. The bottom of the base (1) would be flat to provide stability on any horizontal surface and would be small and of a size and shape that is easily manipulated by hand. The base (1) would have a smooth, uninterruptedly flush, seamless surface texture around the opening (2). The base (1) and guide (3) could be permanently attached or removeably attached. The guide (3) could be a longitudinally protracted member with a symmetrical inward taper (6) beginning with greater dimensions at an upper section of the taper (6) culminating with lesser dimensions at the perimeter (7), or conversely an outward taper beginning with lesser dimensions at the perimeter (7) and culminating with greater dimensions at an upper section of the taper (6) and of a size sufficient to receive a glove appendage and a length sufficient to invert/reform the glove appendage without hindrance, encumbrance or interference. A first end (4) of a size that fits into the opening (2) in the base (1) and a second end (5) having a depression surrounded by a curvilinear perimeter (7) that is obtuse and has a smooth texture. The symmetrical inward taper (6) simulates and conforms to the configuration of a typical baby finger of a normal shaped hand minus the tip and has a smooth, seamless, continuous uninterrupted flush surface. The guide (3) has an uninterrupted continuously flush, smooth seamless surface texture beginning perpendicular to the uppermost groove (8) including the dimensional abatement (6) defined as a taper, culminating with the perimeter (7) that has no interstices, no off-set elements, no ripples, no junctures, joints or connecting pieces, no abutments or articulations, no protrusions, no recessions, no edges, no ridges, and no voids thereby eliminating encumbrance, hindrance, interference bunching of the glove fingertips or marked unevenness to the inside or outside surface of the glove appendage during the inversion process and eliminates encumbrance, hindrance, interference, bunching of the glove fingertips or marked unevenness to the inside surface of the glove appendage during the reformation process thus providing expeditious inversion and reformation of the glove. The second end (5) of the guide (3) is a depression of a size capable of receiving a fingertip of a gloved hand that has a structural element that limits the depth of engagement to that of the tip of a fingertip and is incurvated and shaped to simulate and conform to the configuration of a typical fingertip including a typical thumb tip and provides a means to insure continuous engagement and contact with the apex of the tip of a gloved finger. The perimeter (7) of the depression (5) is obtuse and smooth further facilitating quick and complete inversion of gloves producing the desired effect with no marked unevenness to the inside or outside surface of the glove appendage in preparation for efficient cleaning and/or rapid drying of the lining and reformation of the previously inverted glove is performed expeditiously and completely resulting in a proper fit. The uninterrupted flush seamless smooth surface of this device further provides a means for safety in handling.

Any material, rigid or flexible that is capable of withstanding the pressure necessary to perform the function of the present invention without fracturing or otherwise rendering it inoperable and can be molded, shaped, cut, cast, manufactured, etc. in the configuration according to the invention can be employed in the construction thereof.

One preferred however non-limiting method for applying the present invention that is likely the most efficacious is set forth as follows: for a removeably attached application; place the base (1) with a flat bottom side on a surface, fit the flexible elements (11) into the grooves (8), fit the first end (4) of the guide (3) into the opening (2) in the base (1). As the flexible elements (11) engage the sides of the opening (2) and the guide is pushed into the opening (2) any moisture or debris will be expelled through the small opening (10) in the bottom of the base (1). Once the guide (3) is fully inserted into the opening (2), the grooves (8) and the flexible elements (11) fitted therein are concealed, no longer visible and the first end (4) becomes a stop valve, sealing off the small opening (10), thus creating an airtight vacuum that securely stabilizes the guide for application. The guide (3) extends from the topside of the base (1) in a direction perpendicular to the surface. In the process of taking the glove off, invert it as much as possible. Use any finger of your choosing to start with. Engage the tip of a first gloved finger with a finger inside; the first gloved finger containing a finger could be a gloved thumb containing a thumb; with the second end (5) of the guide (3) substantially perpendicular to the surface. Use the apex of the finger inside the glove appendage to engage and maintain continuous contact with the depressed chamber (5) of the guide (3) as you grasp the cuff of the glove with the second hand and peel the glove down in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the surface over the guide (3) until the first gloved finger is completely inverted. As a result of this process, the remaining fingers will be partially out of the glove appendages. Choosing any finger to continue with the inversion process, resituate the finger and fingertip so as to have contact with the glove appendage tip and repeat the above (same) procedure with a gloved finger containing a finger selected from the group consisting of a second gloved finger containing a finger, a third gloved finger containing a finger, a fourth gloved finger containing a finger and a fifth gloved finger containing a finger until each gloved finger and the glove is completely inverted. Repeat the aforementioned steps to reform a previously inverted glove by firstly putting the previously inverted glove on a hand. Follow the same process to invert a glove to turn the glove back to the proper side with complete reformation resulting in a proper fit. After use, the device detaches easily for placement in a tool kit, bag or fits just as easily in a pocket providing ease of portability and transporting.

For a permanently attached application, the guide (3) extends from the topside of the base (1) in a direction perpendicular to the surface. From this point, the process is the same as for a removeably attached application delineated above.
